Komen now getting slammed in ultra-wealthy Silicon Valley, gotta love the way the "new media" has put a spotlight on who does what in society today.
The Mercury News zeros right in on Karen Handel, the recently hired Senior Vice President for Public Policy. They are really nailing her on her past sentiments when running for governor in Georgia.
Glad to see them highlighting the hypocrisy of their stated concerns about Planned Parenthood:
Planned Parenthood has meticulously kept any federal dollars as well as Komen grants separate from these services. The Health and Human Services inspector general and state Medicaid programs routinely conduct audits of Planned Parenthood. The findings are a matter of public record.
At our church we host survivor parties for women who have battled, and won, the fight against breast cancer. Donations are collected and the money has gone to Komen. Effective immediately we will still hold the party BUT no longer use pink and funds collected will go to PP instead.
I have let the folks at Komen know and I will follow up with the race for the cure sponsors as well.
Churches are changing their position on abortion? The only reason Komen says they are stopping, is the money has been directed to abortions. I've got no problem, with PP if they're not in the business of giving abortions to women, under the age of 18. This happens a lot without a parent knowing. If the parent is involved, which, seldom they are, then it's between the parent and child.

Do you have proof that even SBK haven't presented?
Has anyone stopped to think that maybe the Susan G Komen foundation doesn't want to be aligned with an organization that is mired in a current controversy? The Susan G Komen foundation has stayed away from controversies up until now and perhaps thought it was better for them to simply steer clear of Planned Parenthood right now given the investigations, etc. I can't believe that people would actually fight against this worthy cause and worthy charity just because of this decision. So, for those people that will no longer support SGK and actively fight against it, are you just a fair weather charity contributor?
